I can say that its been a pleasure meeting owners like yourself at gatherings and track events.

Looking forward to seeing you next year at some of the Midwest events.

All,
Thanks for the kind words.

meat,
It's been two months since I had my ankle surgery and the rehab is going well but slower than I ever imagined. I'm so looking forward to an early spring and tracking at Gingerman with new friends from the Mid-west, including you and that crowd drawing bright Lotus with the funny name.

It's because of people like you that the s2ki.com community is as special as it is.

Thank you.

Me too. Silverstone Metallic with a black interior. If I had an extra $83,000, I'd have both.

Dave, I agree with every word of your essay. The S2000 more than satisfies my every sports car desire except exclusiveness. Small town Sheridan now has three on the road: mine, a black/black owned by a 16 year old high school fella (a really nice guy), and a Sebring Silver owned by a fella even more ancient than me. And there are two in the showroom, a new '02 Spa Yellow and a used '02 Suzuka Blue.

I love mine more every day.

Awesome reflection. I felt like someone had looked into my thoughts and written them. Thank you!

Agreed.

I fondly recall the days back in early '00 when we early adopters has exclusiveness, too.

If Honda came out with a true convertible NSX, I would have another car in the garage.
